Holy Ship!
Holy Ship! Is an annual electronic dance music festival previously held aboard a 4,000+ capacity cruise ship, with two back to back sailings leaving out of Port Canaveral, FL with stops in the Bahamas.[1] The event was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and as of November 2020, the organizers were exploring dates late in 2021 or early 2022.[2]

Itinerary
The cruise leaves out of Port Canaveral and travels to the Bahamas, making a stop on a private island for an all-day beach party and then either spending a day at sea or stopping in Nassau, Bahamas prior to arriving back to Cape Canaveral. The event is put on by music production companies Cloud 9 Adventures, HARD, and The Bowery Presents.[3]
The private island party features a daytime dance party, with an un-announced artist arriving by helicopter and a lineup of DJs performing on the island. Historically, the event has sold out in the pre-booking phase, in which previous guests receive a token and are allowed to book prior to a general on-sale.[4] Previous headliners for the festival cruise include Skrillex, Knife Party, A-Trak, Zedd, Flume, Boys Noize, Rusko, Steve Aoki, Fatboy Slim, and Pretty Lights. Special guest appearances include Pharrell Williams, Kaskade, Disclosure, and Tiësto.[5] In addition to music, the event hosts a variety of artist-led activities and workshops.[6]
Non-profit division
The non-profit division of Holy Ship!, Positive Legacy, holds a silent auction during the event, in which the proceeds are donated to current Positive Legacy service projects. Positive Legacy is a 501(c)(3) charity organization committed to integrating live music and service by taking actions that positively impact people and the environment in the communities they visit.[7] In addition to the auction, Positive Legacy also offers guests the chance to offset their carbon emissions from traveling on the cruise, as well as holding a donation drive for the Bahamas Children's Emergency Hostel in Nassau.[8]
